Graham, Jr., Chief of Engineers, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and Scott J. Cameron, Acting Assistant Secretary for Water and Science, Department of Interior, on the Trump administration threatening the Howard Hanson Dam project, not meeting funding targets for donor ports, putting the Columbia River Treaty with Canada at risk, mass firing federal workers at Reclamation and risking dam safety, and illegally terminating grants that improve water efficiency and protect against drought.
